What is the interview process?

While our hiring criteria are virtually identical amongst entry levels, there are some slight differences in the interview processes for different positions.

Interviews consist of three elements: the first is a discussion around the candidates CV and application, the second is a case study, which is designed to reflect typical project work, and lastly, there is time for a question and answer session.
